ENGLISH

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS: 

This manual contains 

important safety instructions for battery chargers.

Before using charger, read all instructions and cautionary 

markings on charger, battery pack, and product using 

battery pack.

WARNING: 

Shock hazard.

 Do not allow any liquid to get 

inside charger. 

CAUTION: 

Burn hazard. 

To reduce the risk of injury, 

charge only designated 

Stanley 

batteries. Other types of 

batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage.

CAUTION:

 Under certain conditions, with the charger 

plugged in to the power supply, the charger can be 

shorted by foreign material. Foreign materials of a 

conductive nature such as, but not limited to, steel wool, 

aluminum foil, or any buildup of metallic particles should 

be kept away from charger cavities. Always unplug the 

charger from the power supply when there is no battery 

pack in the cavity. Unplug charger before attempting to 

clean.

DO NOT attempt to charge the battery pack with any 

chargers other than the ones in this manual. 

The 

charger and battery pack are specifically designed to work 

together. 

These chargers are not intended for any uses other 

than charging designated Stanley rechargeable 

batteries. 

Any other uses may result in risk of fire, 

electric shock or electrocution.

Do not expose charger to rain or snow.

Pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting 

charger.

 This will reduce risk of damage to electric plug 

and cord.

Make sure that cord is located so that it will not be 

stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to 

damage or stress.

Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely 

necessary. 

Use of improper extension cord could result in 

risk of fire, electric shock, or electrocution.

An extension cord must have adequate wire size for 

safety.

 The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the 

greater the capacity of the cable, that is 16 gauge has 

more capacity than 18 gauge. When using more than one 

extension to make up the total length, be sure each 

individual extension contains at least the minimum wire 

size.

Do not place any object on top of charger or place the 

charger on a soft surface that might block the 

ventilation slots and result in excessive internal heat. 

Place the charger in a position away from any heat 

source.

 The charger is ventilated through slots in the top 

and the bottom of the housing.

Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug — 

have them replaced immediately.

Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, 

been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way. 

Take it to an authorized service center.

Do not disassemble charger;

 take it to an authorized 

service center when service or repair is required. Incorrect 

reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock, 

electrocution or fire.

Disconnect the charger from the outlet before 

attempting any cleaning.

 This will reduce the risk of 

electric shock. Removing the battery pack will not reduce 

this risk.

NEVER attempt to connect 2 chargers together.

The charger is designed to operate on standard 

household electrical power. Do not attempt to use it 

on any other voltage.

Important Safety Instruction for Battery Packs

WARNING:

 For safe operation, read this manual and 

manuals originally supplied with tool before using the 

charger.

The battery pack is not fully charged out of the carton. 

Before using the battery pack and charger, read the safety 

instructions below. Then follow charging procedures 

outlined.

Read all Instructions

Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is 

severely damaged or is completely worn out. 

The 

battery pack can explode in a fire. Toxic fumes and 

materials are created when LI-ION battery packs are 

burned.

Do not charge or use battery in explosive 

atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable 

liquids, gases or dust.

 Inserting or removing the battery 

from the charger may ignite the dust or fumes.

If battery contents come into contact with the skin, 

immediately wash area with mild soap and water. 

If 

battery liquid gets into the eye, rinse water over the open 

eye for 15 minutes or until irritation ceases. If medical 

attention is needed, the battery electrolyte for Li-ion 

batteries is composed of a mixture of liquid organic 

carbonates and lithium salts.

Contents of opened battery cells may cause 

respiratory irritation.

 Provide fresh air. If symptoms 

persists, seek medical attention.

WARNING: Burn hazard.

 Battery liquid may be 

flammable if exposed to spark or flame. 

Charge the battery packs only in 

Stanley

 chargers.

DO NOT splash or immerse in water or other liquids. 

This may cause premature cell failure.

Do not store or use the tool and battery pack in 

locations where the temperature may reach or exceed 

105°F (40C°) (such as outside sheds or metal 

buildings in summer).

WARNING:

 Never attempt to open the battery pack for 

any reason. If battery pack case is cracked or damaged, 

do not insert into charger. Do not crush, drop or damage 

battery pack. Do not use a battery pack or charger that 

has received a sharp blow, been dropped, run over or 

damaged in any way (i.e., pierced with a nail, hit with a 

hammer, stepped on). Damaged battery packs should be 

returned to service center for recycling.

WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not store or carry battery 

so that metal objects can contact exposed battery 

terminals.

 For example, do not place battery in aprons, 

pockets, tool boxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc., with 

loose nails, screws, keys, etc. 

Transporting batteries 

can possibly cause fires if the battery terminals 

inadvertently come in contact with conductive 

materials such as keys, coins, hand tools and the like. 

NOTE: LI-ION batteries should not be put in checked 

baggage.

STORAGE RECOMMENDATIONS 

1.   The best storage place is one that is cool and dry away 

from direct sunlight and excess heat or cold.

2.    Long storage will not harm the battery pack or charger.

CHARGING PROCEDURE 

Stanley 

chargers are designed to charge 

Stanley

 battery packs in 40-60 minutes depending on the pack 

being charged. 

1.    Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before 

       inserting the battery pack.

2.    Insert the battery pack into the charger. (Fig. B)

3.                The LED will flash indicating that the battery is 

being charged. 

4.                The completion of charge is indicated by the LED 

remaining on continuously. The pack is fully charged and 

may be used at this time or left on the charger.

CHARGER DIAGNOSTICS

This charger is designed to detect certain problems that can 

arise with the battery packs or the power source. Problems are 

indicated by one LED flashing in different patterns.

BAD BATTERY

            The charger can detect a weak or damaged battery.  

            The LED flashes in the pattern indicated on the label. If 

             you see this bad battery blink pattern, do not continue 

             to charge the battery. Return it to a service center or a 

             collection site for recycling.

HOT/COLD PACK DELAY

              When the charger detects a battery that is excessively 

              hot or excessively cold, it automatically starts a  

              Hot/Cold Pack Delay, suspending charging until the 

              battery has normalized. After this happens, the  

              charger automatically switches to the Pack Charging 

              mode. This feature ensures maximum battery life. The 

              light flashes in the pattern indicated on the label.

LEAVING THE BATTERY IN THE CHARGER

The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the 

LED glowing indefinitely. The charger will keep the battery pack

fresh and fully charged. This charger features an automatic 

tune-up mode which equals or balances the individual cells in 

the battery pack to allow it to function at peak capacity. Battery 

packs should be tuned up weekly or whenever the battery no 

longer delivers the same amount of work. To use the automatic 

tune-up mode, place the battery pack in the charger and leave 

it for at least 8 hours.

IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES

1.    Longest life and best performance can be obtained if the 

battery pack is charged when the air temperature is 

between 65°F and 75°F (18°- 24°C). DO NOT charge the 

       battery pack in an air temperature below +40°F (+4.5°C), 

or above +105°F (+40.5°C). This is important and will 

prevent serious damage to the battery pack.

2.    The charger and battery pack may become warm to touch 

while charging. This is a normal condition, and does not 

indicate a problem. To facilitate the cooling of the battery 

pack after use, avoid placing the charger or battery pack in 

a warm environment such as in a metal shed, or an 

uninsulated trailer.

3.    If the battery pack does not charge properly:

       a. Check current at receptacle by plugging in a lamp or   

           other appliance

       b. Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch 

which turns power off when you turn out the lights. 

       c. Move charger and battery pack to a location where the 

surrounding air temperature is approximately 65°F - 75°F    

           (18°- 24°C). 

       d. If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery pack 

and charger to your local service center.

4.    The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to 

produce sufficient power on jobs which were easily done 

previously. DO NOT CONTINUE to use under these 

conditions. Follow the charging procedure. You may also 

charge a partially used pack whenever you desire with no 

adverse affect on the battery pack.

5.    Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as, but not 

limited to, steel wool, aluminum foil, or any buildup of 

metallic particles should be kept away from charger 

cavities. Always unplug the charger from the power supply 

when there is no battery pack in the cavity. Unplug charger 

before attempting to clean.

6.    Do not freeze or immerse charger in water or any other 

liquid.

 WARNING: Shock hazard. 

Do not allow any liquid to get 

inside charger.Never attempt to open the battery pack for 

any reason. If the plastic housing of the battery pack 

breaks or cracks, return to a service center for recycling.
